Forum members. All the talk about LVD standards has come at a good time. We have a supplier of electric actuators who in their D of C give EN60730-1:1995 - which is Automatic electrical controls for household and similar use - Part 1 General requirements. The supplier sells them into household and industrial environments, and my company would sell them exclusively into industrial environments. I had taken the view this was the wrong standard to comply with, and they should be looking at EN61010 -1 or EN60950-1. Could l have your views please Thanks for your help Ian White.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 27 January 2005 22:02 To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: test equipment standards John, There are many members of this forum who participate in TC108 at either the IEC or national level and therefore have a greater or lesser foresight into the replacement standard for IEC 60065 and IEC 60950-1. Reasonably foreseeable future? Well, that all depends what you mean by reasonable of course... Certainly years, not months - a first consolidated draft of the IEC document (which has moved on a lot from its ECMA beginnings) hasn't yet been put together. You state as a fact that 60950 was drafted for commercially-used equipment and does not always provide relevant levels of safety for domestic applications. I disagree with you and would remind you that this standard is listed in the OJEC as an LVD standard. Everyone I know on the committee and in the Commission use telephones at home and I suspect that all of them also have or use PCs at home, products covered by 60950-1. If I thought that equipment meeting 60950-1 was not safe to use in my home by my family then I would certainly suggest changes, as - no doubt - would other members of TC108.
